Fruit / Dessert Wine Under $50 in Boston

About Fruit / Dessert Wine

Fruit and dessert wine is sweet wine made from grapes or other fruit, often served after a meal, available from The Wild Duck in Boston. The category covers two broad groups. Dessert wines are made from grapes with concentrated sugar, such as late-harvest, botrytised or ice-wine styles. Fruit wines are fermented from fruit like berries, cherries or apples instead of grapes. To choose one, start with sweetness and weight: lighter, lower-alcohol bottles suit fruit tarts and soft cheese, while richer, more syrupy styles pair with blue cheese, nuts or chocolate. Most are served well chilled in small glasses, and an opened bottle keeps best sealed and refrigerated. You can browse the shelf online and collect it in store, choose pickup, or have it delivered around Boston, Cambridge and Brookline.
